Fernandes reacts to "almost perfect" day for Man United

Bruno Fernandes said that Manchester United were "really happy" with their overall performance in Saturday afternoon's 4-1 victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his second debut for the Red Devils, while Fernandes and Jesse Lingard were also among the goals for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Fernandes has reacted to an "almost perfect" day for the club, while he has said that the Red Devils players are "really happy" to have Ronaldo back at Old Trafford.

"It was almost perfect if we did not concede. We are really happy and the performance in general was really good. Newcastle are really organised, defend well but we moved the ball quick and waited for the right moment to hit them," Fernandes told Sky Sports News.

"It is something I am working on and today I got the chance and scored. Everyone knows what Cristiano Ronaldo brought for the club and we are really happy to have him. The most important, as he will say, is the result for the team. Good players can always play well together.

"We arrived at the end (of last season) with some mistakes but did really well. There has been an improvement in the club and now it is time to take the next step."

Man United will be looking to start their 2021-22 Champions League group-stage campaign with a positive result when they take on Young Boys on Tuesday night.
